The best bars and cafés Troyes

The Message is part of this little neighborhood, a little bobo but so pleasant. It's a great place for concerts, but also for a quiet afternoon coffee or an evening drink, either inside or casually seated on a street-side bench. In the tradition of Oiseaux de Passage, Mademoiselle and Le Chat de Gouttière, it's one of those contemporary places with a very personal energy. It's not just a record shop, it's also a bookshop with some great references, turntables and accessories, a bar and a few appetizers to keep you going and give you a good reason to stay. The owner is always ready to advise you, and has a highly specialized musical culture. The pop decor keeps things young and dynamic.

La Barge is a barge that is now opening up attractive terraces on the Bassin de la Préfecture. This chic, lounge-style restaurant/nightclub/piano-bar welcomes you on the bow, on the quay or in the beautifully appointed hold. The whole place is modern, designer and transporting. It feels like you're out of town when you're outside, and in an intimate setting when you're inside. The menu is equally tempting, and the products fresh. Many companies choose this original setting for their events.

It will be said, Hippopotamus, remains a reference of meat. Its value for money is excellent and everyone can find something to its taste. Here, no great inventive recipes, but some famous classics: Basque, classical or Savoyard burgers, of course, with XXL beef ribs, rumsteak pavés or other carnivores delicacies. The city of Troyes is also perfectly located, as everything next to the Cinema City complex. The restaurant is therefore more suitable for the Tricassiens who come out or go to the cinema than to the curious in search of culinary discoveries.

At the heart of the new town hall, at the foot of the tourist office, the Odyssey is well rooted in urban life. Now, the dining area meets the bar area. The interior architecture is modern, comfortable benches… Student youth into the finished courses for a break with a mint diabolo. Nevertheless, the glacier area and bar in the corner are aimed more at tourists. We will not always find the desired user friendliness. But consider that it was a day of fatigue.

This bar is definitely the most connected of the city. Its high-tech déco made of neon and other armchairs in Plexi delight the young people of the square. Before a night's taste, the music at donf distilling the techno all evening. We love style, originality, but we regret the impersonal and somewhat cold atmosphere of the places. Perhaps we spent age?

In the heart of Troyes lies the Chez Axelle tearoom, where simplicity and conviviality meet in harmony. The creator of this cozy space has shaped her dream of sharing around tea, coffee, chocolate and delicious homemade pastries. It's a place where people come to enjoy brunch and the present moment in a cosy atmosphere infused with notes of jazz, soul or rock, depending on the mood! An area dedicated to the youngest, with games and drawings, makes this place ideal for families.
